Does a weak acid gain a proton?
No, an acid, weak or strong, donates a proton. It is a base that gains one.
Do Furan is weak base Or strong base?
weak
Does NH have basic properties?
I would assume so as the nitrogen could accept more hydrogen, protons, into it's structure. Such as NH3, ammonia, a weak base as it can accept a proton in solution.
What combinations of compounds will make a buffer when mixed?
In order to have an effective buffer, one needs to have a weak acid or a weak base, and the salt (conjugate) of that weak acid or weak base. Examples would be :weak acid/conjugate base: acetic acid/sodium acetateweak base/conjugate acid: ammonia/ammonium chloride
Is a carbonate ion acidic or basic?
A carbonate ion would be a proton acceptor, making it a base. _________________________________________________________________ False, CO3 2- is an acidic ion, but forms a weak acid. Hence, it dissociates into H2O and CO2.
Does a weak acid gain a proton?
No, an acid, weak or strong, donates a proton. It is a base that gains one.
Ammonium sulfide an acid base or salt?
Ammonia, NH3 is a weak base in solution. Can pick up a proton.
Is ammomnia an acid or a base?
A weak base. In solution, to a small extent, NH3 picks up a proton and becomes NH4 +, ammonium.
Is the conjugate base of a strong acid always a weak base?
A strong acid is a good proton donor, whereas its conjugate base is a poor proton acceptor.
HCO3- is acid or base?
It can be either and acid or a base; since it is capable of either accepting or donating a proton, it depends on the surrounding solution.
Is HCN an acid or base?
Yes and no. HCN is a salt, but it is also a weak acid.
How can bicarbonate be a weak base if it doesn't contain hydroxide ion?
The bicarbonate ion is a base because it's a proton acceptor, that being one of the definitions of a base.
Is NH4NO3 an acid base or salt?
Salt, although i dont believe this molecule exists. NH3 in water can attract a proton from a H2O molecule and form NH4+ + OH-. This is called ammoniumhydroxide (NH4OH). Since the ammonia creates an OH- it is a base and the NH4+ is its conjegated acid.
Is NO2- a strong or weak base?
The nitrate ion (NO3-) is a so extremely weak base that it will gain no proton at all from water.(That's why HNO3 is a so strong acid that it 'splits' off ALL its protons. in water there is no molecule HNO3 remaining.)
Why does a salt containing a cation from a strong base and an anion from a weak acid form a basic solution?
The cation of a strong base removes a proton from to make a basic solution.The anion of a weak acid removes a proton from to make a basic solution.Water removes a cation from salt to make a basic solution. Which is the correct answer??
Is ammonia a weak acid?
Ammonia typically acts as a weak base. In most acid-base reactions involving ammonia, the nitrogen atom gains a proton and gains a positive charge. The result is the ammonium cation.
Is F- acid or base?
Since F- is the conjugate base to the weak acid HF, it is a weak base.
